ASUS Malaysia has announced the availability of the world’s strongest gaming tablet which is none other than the ROG Flow Z13.
First revealed during CES of this year a couple of months ago, the ROG Flow Z13 is rocking a tablet factor chassis packing a high level of computing power to give you that ultimate combination of “Android Hardware + Windows Software” experience where the latest Windows 11 is created to facilitate touch screen inputs on mobile devices. But if you don’t like touching and smearing your fingerprint all over the screen, rest assured that there’s a separate mouse, keyboard, and even native gamepad support to let you game like an actual gamer when it matters. By aiming for the best configs, you’ll be surprised that at such a compact size, it is hosting a 12th Gen Intel Core i9 CPU together with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti powering an astounding 4K display alongside multiple I/O ports.
Gaming at 4K via the RTX 3050 Ti? Not gonna happen. That’s where the new XG Mobile comes in.
If you lack critical information about the ROG XG Mobile, let us give u a brief refresh. Essentially it is an external GPU (eGPU) that can act as a portable graphics card to plug into any compatible laptops (Presumably the Flow Z13 and the older Flow X13) and you’ll get all the extra horsepower whether for your productivity tasks or high res gaming. For this particular model, it is equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 16GB with a 150W TGP powered by a 280W power supply. For the ports provided as extensions, it has the following:
- 4x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1
- 1x HDMI 2.0b
- 1x DisplayPort 1.4 (G-SYNC Support)
- 1x Ethernet
- 1x SD Card Reader
Anyway, here are the full spec lists of the 3 available models for Malaysia.

Availability
If you’re ready to shell out for the new ASUS ROG Flow Z13, there are 2 choices for you at the moment. If you’re going for the non-XG Mobile set, then yes, you may place your order on ASUS ROG’s Lazada page starting today and wait for it to arrive at your doorstep. However, if you’re keen to have that extra eGPU and crave the extra freebie items, you’ll need to wait a bit until April arrives and by that time, ASUS Malaysia will be flipping the “Available” switch to ON for the purchase of the complete Flow Z13 ecosystem.
